On Wednesday I celebrated the publication of my friend Nina Harrington‘s first Mills & Boon Romance, Always The Bridesmaid. We convened in a suitably bookish place and Nina looked very glamorous in her fascinator, surrounded by balloons and brand-new sparkling copies of her book:

We drank fizz, ate cakes, and generally had a brilliant time. Congratulations, Nina!

In other news, the Romantic Novelists’ Association has started up its own blog, with details of the latest books, and glimpses into favourite authors’ lives. A great resource for any reader or writer.

   WOOHOO on Nina Harrington’s first Romance – Mega congrats Ray-Anne!

   Great news too about the RNA blog.

   I’m being dragged off now for a lunch out with hubby – between you and me I think he’s treating me after my recent exhausting ‘research’ session with Jon Bon Jovi (details on my blog).

   Yay Ray-Anne! Or should I say Nina?

   LOL Sue, I love your story about Jon Bon Jovi! Are you sending him round to mine next? I have some repairs that need doing…

   Liz, I’m waiting for a calm evening too, to enjoy.

   Lacey, I love all the pink and flowers in the picture. It’s lovely when an author looks so gorgeous with her books.

   MelRoXx, thanks for visiting me!
